Stress Recess in the Media"Leah Knight, a principal analyst at The Gartner Group, thinks [Stress Recess] is onto something."
"So-called quality of life benefits, running the gamut from on-site massages to well-stocked company kitchens, are making an appearance at many companies.

"We are enthusiastic about this opportunity to unite our workplace massage experience with Delta's extensive knowledge of the business traveler," said Devorah Slavin, CEO of Stress Recess. "Stress Recess has shown that massage benefits corporate workers, but Delta is innovating the benefits of massage for business people on the road."
"Peter Belvin and Devorah Slavin, executives at Stress Recess, a Georgia-based provider of workplace massages, tell HRWire that they are working with companies to help them find ways to maintain at least some of their benefits."
Employers are offering everything from Starbucks coffee in every employee's cup to $100,000 relocation packages. Not to mention on-site masseuses, gyms, concierge services and free lunches.
"Dollar for dollar, [Stress Recess] massage is a very inexpensive benefit that has a very high value perceived by employees, despite its low cost." The Society for Human Resource Management estimates about 12% of employers offer massage therapy services and roughly 3% provide a concierge to employees.
